Anglesey Abbey

We went for a walk here earlier this week avoiding the rain. 

As it is summer holidays for schools they are gearing up for kids as they have crazy golf. 

The scissors ✂️ are for a fashion exhibition.

This morning (in the rain!) we went for a walk at nearby Anglesey Abbey. On the way out we walked though the garden centre there and saw these colourful plants.

Yesterday, although it was only about 5 degrees C, was sunny, so we went for a walk at nearby Anglesey Abbey. This is where the photo was taken.

Fungi or Lichen? - NOT amateur radio

I think this log at nearby Anglesey Abbey was on the blog some months ago. 

It looks like the fungi (or is it lichen?) is changing colour.

Yesterday we met some friends at Anglesey Abbey. There was rain overnight and rain this afternoon, but we chose a dry patch in between luckily.

This National Trust property is not far from us. We went for a walk there earlier. 

In each season there is something to see. At the moment, it is a good time to see dahlias.

The photo shows my wife at nearby Anglesey Abbey on Friday on a (rare) sunny day. At the moment this is probably the dullest summer I can remember. We have had far more rain than usual. Often the grass turns brown by now, but it still looks green at the moment.

This National Trust house and gardens is about 10 minutes away by car. We went for a walk in the grounds  yesterday. There is something to see at all times of the year.

Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge, yesterday - NOT amateur radio

The photo shows Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge, yesterday where we went for a walk with friends we met at university in 1967. 

It was very muddy and mild. Someone told me that as the planet warms, we can expect more clouds and more rain in the UK. Certainly we have had a lot of rain in the last few years.

Earlier in the week, we visited nearby Anglesey Abbey with one of our granddaughters. The snowdrops are a picture, but they are now past their best. Next it will be daffodils.
